Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
  • The present disclosure relates to replay system and method of ship collision accidents using a free running model test, and more particularly, to replay system and method of ship collision accidents using a free running model test capable of verifying a ship collision accident replay simulation in real time while replaying ship collision accidents in real time by replaying the ship collision accidents using a free running model test at the time of the ship collision accidents to perform avoidance evaluation through physical collision replay and physical avoidance maneuvers of the accident ship.
  • Description of the Related Art
  • Conventionally, when a ship is operating, a navigator performs a lookout task in preparation for collision accidents, and is supported through radar and electronic navigational chart equipment.
  • However, it takes a lot of time to identify a collision situation at an early stage, manually check lots of navigational equipment one by one until performing an avoidance maneuver, and quickly respond to a dangerous situation.
  • In addition, in a situation where 30% of marine accidents are ship collision accidents, and human error accounts for 80% or more of the ship collision accidents, in order to prevent collision accidents in advance, there is a need of a system capable of supporting a collision situation with dozens of ships around an own ship to be effectively identified in a short time.
  • Conventionally, there is a function to receive a collision risk between two specific ships manually set as an alarm by using a distance of closest point approach (DCPA) in ARPA radar, and the like, but through a combination of dozens of ships, the risk of collision is not considered at the same time.
  • For this reason, there was a limit in determining which group was the most dangerous among dozens of ships and which group had a high risk of collision.
  • Like the ship, there is no system that provides the risk of collision between combinations of many ships even in the case of a controller who performs a control task of ship traffic at a maritime traffic control center.
  • Recently, ship navigation support systems have been developed and distributed, but ship accidents have not been reduced, and as of 2017, 10% or more of 2600 accidents, 280 collision accidents have occurred, and based on reconciliation accidents, over the past five years, 60% or more of collision accidents have occurred and 80% or more of these accidents have occurred by navigational negligence.
  • The ship collision accidents may develop into large-scale marine pollution accidents, as can be seen from the Hebei Spirit accident, and it is difficult to maintain the collision site, so that there is a need for a replay system of ship collision accidents to analyze the mechanism and cause of the collision.
  • A replay system of ship collision accidents developed in the related art is a method of examining the causes of collision accidents by mainly inputting navigation information of ships, such as AIS, or accident ships stored in VTS, and plotting the navigation information on an electronic navigation chart to examine the trajectories, and there is a limitation in that it is difficult to accurately determine the physical behavior of a ship.
  • A method of applying marine environmental conditions using a simulation and performing avoidance evaluation such as avoidance maneuvers is also applied by assuming the same type of ship navigation model based on specification information of the accident ship, and there is a limitation in that it is impossible to accurately simulate the physical avoidance behavior according to the avoidance control of the ship during avoidance evaluation.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present disclosure is derived to solve the problems in the related art as described above, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide replay system and method of ship collision accidents using a free running model test capable of verifying a ship collision accident replay simulation in real time while replaying ship collision accidents in real time by replaying the ship collision accidents using a free running model test at the time of the ship collision accidents to perform avoidance evaluation through physical collision replay and physical avoidance maneuvers of the accident ship.
  • According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a replay system of ship collision accidents using a free running model test including a ship collision replay simulation system configured to replay the ship collision accidents by receiving a navigation trajectory of the ship collision accidents; a free running model system configured to perform a free running model test of the collision accident ship using a free running model ship; and a free running control system configured to remotely perform the free running model test, in which the replay of the ship collision accidents is performed by simultaneously performing a simulation in the ship collision replay simulation system and a free running model test in the free running model system.
  • According to another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a replay system of ship collision accidents using a free running model test including a ship collision replay simulation system configured to replay the ship collision accidents by receiving a navigation trajectory of the ship collision accidents; a free running model system configured to perform a free running model test of the collision accident ship using a free running model ship; and a free running control system configured to remotely perform the free running model test, in which a propulsion and steering command of a full ship scale of the accident ship for path tracking is generated in order to replay the accident along a collision trajectory on the ship collision replay simulation system.
  • The propulsion and steering command scaled with the full ship scale of the accident ship may be converted into the propulsion and steering command scaled with the model ship scale through the free running control system to be applied to the free running model system.
  • According to the propulsion and steering command applied by the free running model system, the free running model ship may physically move at an outdoor test site or an indoor marine engineering tank test facility and acquire navigation information.
  • When the area in a marine engineering tank is 50 m × 30 m and the test is enabled in the area in the marine engineering tank, a free running test in the tank may be performed, and an outdoor free running test may be performed out of the tank area.
  • Real-time navigation information (position, speed, bearing, and attitude information) of the free running model ship may be acquired through a GPS, a positioning sensor, and a gyro sensor installed on the free running model ship.
  • The acquired navigation information of the free running model ship may be transmitted as information scaled with the model ship scale of the free running control system remotely through wireless communication.
  • The navigation information transmitted as the information scaled with the model ship scale of the free running control system may be converted to information scaled with the full ship scale to be expressed as the navigation trajectory of the collision ship on the ship collision replay simulation system, so as to show and real-time verify the simulation trajectory results of the ship collision replay simulation system.
  • The information scaled with the model ship scale may be converted to the information scaled with the full ship scale by applying the Froude similarity transformation law according to a scale ratio defined as the length of the full ship scale to the length of the model ship scale.
  • In addition, the replay system of the ship collision accidents using the free running model test may implement a replay mode that replays ship collision accidents, and an avoidance mode that avoids collisions at the time of a collision accident.
  • In the avoidance mode, while following the trajectory of the ship collision accident, when a ship collision risk occurs before the time of the accident, a user may perform the avoidance evaluation by applying the propulsion and steering command for avoidance.
  • At this time, two free running model ships applied to the free running model system may be operable.
  • As another method, the free running model ship applied to the free running model system may be set as an own ship, and a counterpart ship as a virtual simulation ship may be set and operated in the ship collision replay simulation system.
  • In addition, according to navigation information of a virtual ship collision accident situation given by the ship collision replay simulation system, the free running model ship may perform a free running model test, and test information of the free running model ship of the own ship may be updated in the ship collision replay simulation system.
  • In addition, steering and propulsion command values for collision avoidance of the free running model ship of the own ship may be calculated manually or automatically, so that an avoidance test of the own ship is performed during the physical free running model test. When evaluating the avoidance of the counterpart ship, the own ship may be replayed as a free running test as it is in the accident situation, and the avoidance evaluation may be performed with a virtual simulation of the counterpart ship.
  • According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a replay method of ship collision accidents using a free running model test as a replay method of replaying ship collision accidents using the replay system of the ship collision accidents using the free running model test, including verifying a ship collision accident replay simulation in real time while replaying ship collision accidents in real time.

  • According to the present disclosure, it is possible to acquire and replay not only the physical navigation trajectory but also the attitude and steering/propulsion control information, and to verify a conventional ship collision replay simulation in real time.
